Locking Plate Kit (LKPTO) installed in place of the rear toe eccentrics? I had the kit installed but a not 100% certain it was installed correctly...I certainly hope so.

They have a pdf of their website. I'll try and snag a picture in the morning though if I remember.

look at ur OEM eccentric and imagine that as a rectangle
if u dont have it, GET IT.
or u will need alignment every other day as your toe will change.

Got the Tarrett Adjustable toe links and retained (Out of ignorance) retained the the Factory eccentrics, bad idea. One of the bolts failed, backed out? In an instant I went from 0 degrees toe to 20 degrees of toe in. I will craw under the car this weekend to be certain the Locking Plate Kit was installed correctly...there is a helpful pdf on the Tarrett web site as mentioned above. The Locking Plate Kit (LKPTO) is one hell of a fine product for sale $95.00...no more dynamic toe��

Eliminates a change in static toe from the eccentric cam slipping. Dynamic toe is changes in toe due to movement or load of the suspension from factors such as bump steer and rubber bushing compliance. When stopped returns to original static setting. Since your cam slipped "from 0 to -20" that is a drastic change in static toe setting.

The car could not be driven at any speed greater than 20 mph. I thought there was a flat tire, had just gotten on the freeway...off at the next exit. Looked at the tires, fine...looked at the driver's side rear tire/wheel in the process...all that toe. Thought maybe I hadn't torqued down the lug bolts...We limped to a safe side street and parked...than a Uber ride back home to pick up my truck/trailer, and on back to town to fetch my car.

I now have the the Tarrett adjustable toe links and won't be needing the eccentrics anymore. add the Locking Plate Kit (LKPTO)...will drive with greater confidence knowing that the onset of "dynamic toe" cannot occurs...that is, unless you break a toe link, an unlikely occurrence. Obviously, you cannot install the Locking Plate Kit (LKPTO) without adjustable toe links.

I had planned on going to the track (Willow Springs) the next 2 days. I hate to think of what could have happened had the eccentric failed in a high speed corner. Failed? Slipped? I was told that was what happened...still dumbfounded how an eccentric can get loose when it has a locking bolt. But thankful that it happened on the street at a relative low speed.

Here is a picture of the ones I made on my car, the radius will nest down into the lower part of the sub frames rear section. Here is also the measurement if you get into a jam and need to make one.
